“Shannan is sooooo sweet and such a dog lover!! I’m so happy we found Shannan and that Auggie had the pleasure of hanging at her place with her incredibly friendly and playful dogs. Auggie loved playing in the backyard where she had so many balls! Heaven! Shannan updated us all day with so many great pics too! We will 100000% be sending Auggie to Shannans house again!”
“Thank you so much for taking such a good care of our little Jasper! He is always nervous during the first 15 min, and you were so kind and patient with him. We truly appreciate it!”
“Ana took care of my dog like her family member. She is kind and so sweet and I was very comfortable leaving my super anxious dog with her. She took time to send regular updates and photos while Fluffy was with her. 100% recommended dog sitter. Thank you Ana.”
“Gunja was absolutely wonderful with Churro! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was caring, attentive, and treated Churro like he was her own. We also loved that he had Milo around for company. They got along so well! 🐶 Gunja kept us updated throughout his stay and sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Churro was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with him and would absolutely leave Churro with Gunja and Milo again. Highly recommend!”
About: I live in a smaller, cozy home in Leander, just outside Austin, with a small fenced backyard that's perfect for sniffing around, sunbathing, or a good game of fetch. I work from home full-time, so I'm never rushing out the door — I'm around all day, every day, which means your dog gets my full attention, whether that's extra walks, cuddle time on the couch, or just having someone nearby when they want company. I offer boarding, house sitting, and drop-in visits, and I'm happy to work with dogs of all kinds under about 100 lbs. Whether your pup needs a relaxed home to stay in while you're away, a familiar face checking in on them at your place, or a sitter who'll treat your house like their own, I'd love to help. After a lifetime with dogs, I know that every one of them is a little different — some want to snuggle all day like Allie, others want more activity — and I take the time to figure out what makes your dog feel comfortable and loved. If you're looking for someone patient, experienced, and genuinely home all the time, I'd be honored to look after your best friend. I work from home full-time, so my schedule is wide open — there's no clocking in and out for me, which means your dog isn't waiting around for a set walk time or stuck alone for hours. Bathroom breaks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles all happen throughout the day, whenever your pup needs them, not on a fixed schedule. Since I'm home basically around the clock, I'm able to stay flexible and adjust to whatever routine your dog is used to. our dog's safety and comfort come first. My backyard has a tall fence, so there's plenty of secure space to play, sniff around, and soak up some sun without any worry. My home is smoke-free, and it's just me and my senior English bulldog, Allie — she's about as low-key as they come and gets along easily with other dogs. I know meeting a new sitter can feel like a big step, so I'm always happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand if that puts you more at ease — but I also know it's not necessary for everyone, so I leave that totally up to you. While your dog is with me, I'll send regular photo and text updates so you can see exactly how they're doing. One thing I bring that a lot of sitters don't: years of caring for an English bulldog. Bulldogs need a close eye kept on their breathing and overall comfort, and that habit has stuck with me — I watch every dog in my care just as closely, whatever the breed. Once you've taken care of an English bulldog, honestly, every other breed feels easy by comparison.
“Lynn was amazing! Firstly she was able to accommodate a last minute doggy daycare request. This was our first time with Lynn and she kept me up to date the whole day with pictures and updates on Teddy. She even made sure to check with me before adding broth to his lunch. A+++! He had a FANTASTIC time and I could not be more grateful. Thank you Lynn!”
About: I’ve always had dogs as pets and enjoy pet sitting. I currently have three of my own. Charlie- a poodle mix, Cash- a golden retriever, and Moose- our Bernese mountain dog. I work from home and the boys would love extra company to play. I have a big yard with a pool and tanning ledge the pups love to use to cool off. I work from home so having an extra couple of pups at the house would be fantastic! My dogs would love having extra playmates. I adhere to your pup routines to keep things consistent. I have a fence yard with three friendly dogs and a pool with a tanning ledge for the dogs to cool off on hot days when I let them out for a quick timed potty breaks.
About: I love animals (probably more than people lol)! I have worked at an animal hospital for two years. Interacted with pets of all shapes and sizes! I grew up with dogs and started pet sitting as a preteen-friends, family, neighbors. So about 18 years now! I’ve fostered and babysat cats and dogs for long and short stays, including puppies and older cats. I can administer medication as well. I rescued my dog as a puppy and I have a big interest in dog psychology. I continue to train and work with my dog everyday, as it brings me a lot of joy. I even started a dog training business with my sister and our own podcast (we’re in the early stages!), as we share a love for our four-legged companions! We help coach other owners and touch on topics like dog behavior, holistic health, diet, the vet, dog myths, different training styles, and everything in between! Being around animals makes me so happy! I cherish the time I spend with my dog as he is my favorite companion and I would love the opportunity to get to spend time with your beloved companion(s). :) I work part time in the evening, so I have time to care for your pet during the day and the few days I work I’m not gone for too long! I have a fenced yard and one dog to keep your pet company, if desired. He his crate trained and I can crate your pet if needed as well! I give my dog lots of potty breaks and exercise and play time as well as nap time and training time-keep his mind and body fulfilled and meet his needs:) I plan to do the same with your pet whether it be in my home or yours! Obviously with their specific needs in mind!
About: I have a mixed pet home with 2 dogs and multiple secure caged reptiles. We love all kind of pets in our home. My experience is a mix of personal animal care and caring for friends pets. Also, I care for our neighbors pets when they go out of town. I have an open schedule that I can set myself, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week including weekends. When pets stay at my house, we have an average size back yard with open access via a doggy-door to use, plus we have a large on-leash area in the greenbelt zone behind my house, there your friend can run around and not feel stuck inside. We have the ability to overnight board using crates or bedtime cuddles, but prefer to be crate free.
“Susan S. is amazing! The backyard is big and spacious, my pup was happy to go to doggy day care at Susan’s. He typically tries to leave with me when using commercial boarding. Susan is professional, communicative and was able to accommodate a couple late mornings. Highly recommend! Loved the daily photos.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years, and taking care of dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I have a dog of my own who I absolutely love and treat like family, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. Over the years, I’ve regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, including feeding, walking, playing with them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m patient, attentive, and always make an effort to understand each dog’s personality and individual needs. When your dog is with me, they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care. My goal is to make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and at home while you’re away. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can usually work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to help with walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I know pets do best when they can stick to their normal routine, so I’ll do my best to keep things familiar and comfortable for them. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m caring, patient, and attentive, and I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and what they’re comfortable with. I’ll follow your instructions and make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and keep you updated so you know how they’re doing.
About: I am dedicated to providing your dog with my undivided care and attention throughout the day, as I work from home. You can have peace of mind knowing that your furry friend will never feel lonely, as I have two well-trained dogs who will keep them company. With a decade of experience caring for various dog breeds, I am well-equipped to handle the needs of small and medium-sized dogs. My friends and family trust me to take care of their dogs while they are away, relying on me for walks, feeding, and even overnight care during their vacations. Your dogs will feel right at home in my loving and nurturing environment. My fenced backyard offers a safe and secure space for them to freely explore and play. When the weather gets too hot, they can seek comfort indoors, where they can freely roam around the house. I understand that every dog has unique routines and preferences. That's why I am committed to tailoring my schedule to meet your beloved pet's needs. Whether it's feeding them once a day, going on multiple walks, providing them with plenty of exercise, or giving them my undivided attention, I will adapt to ensure they feel comfortable and content in my care. With over 90% of my day spent at home, I assure that your dogs will receive regular walks in the morning and evening. Additionally, they will be taken out for bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours, unless specific instructions are provided. As I work from home, your dog's well-being is my top priority. I am dedicated to providing them with undivided attention, ensuring they are fed and taken out for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. During walks, leash safety is always maintained, unless they are in the secure and fenced backyard.
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. As an adult, I currently have four dogs of my own, which has given me extensive hands-on experience with daily care, exercise needs, and behavior. I’ve also interned and worked in veterinary clinics, as well as dog boarding and daycare facilities, where I gained experience handling dogs safely, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and providing attentive, compassionate care. Friends and family have trusted me for years to feed, walk, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for, and I always aim to provide dependable service, clear communication, and lots of love and attention. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walks. I’m happy to provide dependable care, exercise, and attention to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away. In my home, my pets are family, and their care is a top priority. They have a consistent daily routine that includes regular exercise, structured feeding times, enrichment, and plenty of affection and attention. I pay close attention to their behavior, health, and individual personalities so I can meet their specific needs and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I provide that same level of attentive, personalized care to every pet I look after. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, training cues, and any special instructions because maintaining familiarity helps reduce stress while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy dogs, seniors, high-energy pups, and those who need extra patience or gentle handling. My goal is to make your pet feel secure, loved, and well cared for in your absence, while giving you peace of mind through dependable service and thoughtful updates. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same care, respect, and attention I give my own.

Chaio is amazing! She was so gracious, calm and patient when doing our meet and greet with Jasper, who was very stressed out from our cross-country move! As soon as Jasper entered her home, I know he felt at home and fell in love with Chaio and her pups! She sent lots of updates, photos and videos throughout the day and Jasper came home happy and tired from all the fun!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Leander commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
